The URKtage

I had no idea what this had to do with me until I read the description. No sick snipers or beast no-scopes. Yep, sounds like yours truly. I do all my best work with the Spiker Rifles. The video below doesn't featuring any play from yours truly, but there are some gems to dig out. If you're into watching other people play Halo 3 in your spare time, tune in.

"This montage does not include any 'sick snipes' or 'beast no-scopes', but just some funny and fresh clips not to be taken seriously. It short and amusing, so just hit play and enjoy. Oh, and it's also a little tribute to our community hero, the very founder of news posting, Urk."

'Brothers Final' - Halo 3 Montage

"This is a Halo 3 montage from Vidol and Shausty entitled, 'Brothers Final.' The gameplay features a mix of MLG and non MLG gameplay and lots of sick snipes (look out for the last clip). The syncing is pretty well done, and the editing is overall surprisingly minimal and laid back. The soundtrack is also an interesting change of pace, and the video's in crystal clear HD. Enjoy!"
